After laparoscopic surgery patients can usually take a shower on day 6-8, because laparoscopic surgery is mostly performed 5-7 days after stitches are removed, and showering can be done about 24 hours after stitches are removed, but it should be decided according to the condition. For routine surgeries, such as laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic appendectomy, patients usually recover quickly and the incisions heal well, and the stitches are removed 5-7 days after surgery. For major surgeries, such as laparoscopic hepatocellular carcinoma and gastrectomy, it is necessary to decide whether to extend the suture removal time according to the patient’s nutritional status and postoperative complications. In addition, some patients may have clinical conditions such as fat liquefaction and incision infection, which usually require incision healing before bathing.
